Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00359 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00179 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
google-scholar scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Google Scholar
Overview
Academic paper search engine (Google). Search papers, explore citation graphs, and view researcher profiles with h-index and publication history.
Workflows
Search papers and explore citations
searchPapers(q)→ results withcitescluster IDgetCitations(cites)→ papers citing that paper →citesfor further hops
Research an author
searchPapers(q)→ find paper →userID from author linksgetAuthorProfile(user)→ name, affiliation, h-index, citations, publications
Operations
| Operation | Intent | Key Input | Key Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| searchPapers | find papers by keyword/author | q | title, authors, citedBy, cites, pdfLink | 10 results/page; cites field feeds getCitations |
| getCitations | papers citing a given paper | cites ← searchPapers | title, authors, citedBy, totalResults | same DOM as search |
| getAuthorProfile | researcher profile | user (from author links) | name, hIndex, citationsAll, publications[] | up to 20 publications |
Quick Start
# Search for papers
openweb google-scholar exec searchPapers '{"q": "transformer attention"}'
# Get citing papers (use cites value from search)
openweb google-scholar exec getCitations '{"cites": "10449950798206616151"}'
# Get author profile (use user ID from author links in search)
openweb google-scholar exec getAuthorProfile '{"user": "KROUdngAAAAJ"}'
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

google-scholar is a skill published in the GitHub repository imoonkey/openweb (58 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 359 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
